18 sport By LOGAN SAVORY Corey Anderson wrote himself into world cricket folklore by breaking the record for the fastest international century in a remarkable display of batting against the West Indies in Queenstown on New Year’s Day. In a reduced 21-over per side oneday-international, Anderson brought up his century in just 36 balls, which knocked off the world record set by Shahid Afridi for Pakistan in 1996. Afridi held the record with 37 balls and with Anderson 95 from 35 balls he needed to hit the 36th ball for six to put himself in the world record books. Anderson did just that, finishing 131 not out from 41 balls in an innings that included 14 sixes and six fours. While Anderson was etching his name into folklore, at the other end his partner in crime Jesse Ryder was just as impressive even though the spotlight was shining brightly on Anderson. Ryder brought up a century, which in fact was the fifth fastest century in international cricket. The pair put on 191 for the fourth wicket. After the game was halted by rain for the majority of the day it quickly rained sixes with the New Zealand batsmen racking up 22 sixes. The West Indies managed just 124 for five from 21 overs. Allan blows triathlon rivals out of the water Swimming might be his weakest discipline but that did not stop Wanaka multisport star Dougal Allan from taking out the Lake Dunstan triathlon in a record time of 53minutes in Cromwell. The 28-year-old, who is better known for his multisport and adventure racing prowess, was competing in the event for the first time and knocked a minute off the record set last year by former Olympic cyclist Matt Randall. Allan plans to compete in the Challenge Wanaka triathlon event and said the Cromwell event was good training for him, although he would have preferred a longer swim leg. Meanwhile, top young Queenstown athlete Fynn Thompson finished behind Allan and said it was also his first time competing in the event although he had raced the course before during a secondary school triathlon. 8.1.14 Big-hitters blast into record books Stand back: Corey Andersononhis waytoa record-breakingdisplay in Queenstown.

Crashes thwart Cromwell races By JO MCKENZIE-MCLEAN Here I come:Wanakamultisport athlete DougalAllanonhisway to winning the Lake Dunstan triathlon in a record time inCromwell. Photo:EMMADAWE 628794175 The triathlon was good preparation for his next big race in Penrith, Australia, where he will compete overseas as part of the Australian junior series. A speedway meeting in Cromwell turned into a ‘‘smash palace’’ with 11 sprintcars wiped out of racing and crashes leaving racers hospitalised. The Central Motor Speedway hosted a huge crowd for a night of racing last week, including the feature 25 lap Sprintcar Race in the 10 round War of the Wings Series. Spectator Ross Lindsay, of Cromwell, said one of the many ‘‘spectacular’’ crashes involved two sidecars and was ‘‘one of the most miraculous escapes from injury’’ he had seen. ‘‘The passenger of the leading sidecar came off and was left sprawled on the track. The second sidecar tried to take evasive action but it literally gathered up the prone passenger, carrying him into the wall.’’ ‘‘I am sure I wasn’t alone in thinking a worst case scenario,’’ he said.

Race promoter Jo Gaudion said two of the injuredmen were from Invercargill and the most seriously injured was from Australia.

The 15-year-old John McGlashan College student and his 16-yearold training partner, Jack Leslie, of Christchurch, prepared on the Naseby Luge Track during the southern hemisphere winter and spent a month training and competing in Italy and Austria in January where Fogo finished 35th in a field of 50 racers at the world championships. On their latest trip they will compete in four World Cup races in Italy and Austria between January 4 and January 26. They will train and compete as part of an International Luge Federation development programme and will compete against the best in the sport including Italian world champion Patrick Pigneter and Polish champion Adam Jedrzejko, who coached at Naseby in 2012 and 2013.
